This Sunday we have one of those rare treats, to speak to one of the recording industry's leading engineers...Bill Halverson. We chatted last week about just a small part of his remarkable career which spans over 40 years, and includes work on such seminal albums such as the first Crosby, Stills and Nash album as well as Deja Vu. We will also share two unique recordings that Bill has graciously allowed us to use for educational purposes...from Cream and Joni Mitchell! Looks to be an exciting show...so please join us at 7PM ET.

Tonight we start a new feature in Ahmet's House, by looking at the week past and seeing who among the storied Atlantic artists celebrated a birthday. Of course we will mix it up as best we can...to celebrate the diversity and significance of this great catalogue. Tonight's birthdays: Jack Bruce, Bill Bruford, Big Joe Turner, Rick Wakeman and Cher!

Tonight on Ahmet's House at 7PM EDT, we celebrate the women who helped to shape the great sound of Atlantic Records. We dedicate this program tonight to the wonderful Mica Ertegun, who has opened up a great world to us at WBKM. Happy Mothers Day to moms all around the world, and to the sisters, girlfriends, daughters and all the women who have made our lives so full!

I have been remiss in not keeping this blog up to date...but a little work and we will be back in action. I have begun back-filling dates and show recordings...and I will also post pictures, and other news items of interest to the followers of our Ahmet's House broadcasts. Great things are in the works, so keep checking!

Another chance to sample the best in modern Jazz tonight as the Ertegun Jazz Series continues at the Turkish Embassy. Jonathan Batiste and his Stay Human Band light up the room and get the crowd dancing! Ahmet and Nesuhi would be proud...I'll post a video very soon.
